To make good articles the best of every- 
thing should be purchased. You should be 
provided with filtering papers, tunnels, gra- 
duates, mortars, etc. 

Particularly in buying essential oils great 
caution should be used to get not only th<i 
best but freshest, as you cannot be assured 
of success unless your oils are perfectly fresh. 
It is well only to purchase small quantities 
such as you desire to use within a short 
time. Great care should be exercised in 
making everj^thing, and instructions must be 
followed closely except as to the amount of 
scenting to be used, which can be varied to 
suit your customers' tastes. 



^^^I^'t-t-OILS-^ 



Really the best Hair Oil for general use is made from 
Castor Oil and Alcohol scented with oil of Bergamot. 
This is satisfactory to all. 
Mix 

12 ounces of Castor Oil. 
4 ounces of Alcohol. 
2 drams of Oil of Bergamot.

HAIR AND WHISKER DYES. 

In making Hair Dye great care should be used in 
order to have them prove satisfactory. In all cases 
soft water must be used ; if distilled water can be pro- 
cured so much better, and your dye will prove more 
satisfactory. In all the following dyes No. i is the 
preparation to be applied after the hair or whiskers has 
been thoroughly washed and well dried. You should 
before using a dye free the hair from grease by wash- 
ing with a solution of Salts of Tartar. Some use suc- 
cessfully No. 2 before No i.
